kopioidaan

Kopioidaan is Finnish the present passive form of the verb kopioida, meaning to copy. It translates roughly as “it is copied” or “are copied,” and is used when the actor performing the copying is unknown or irrelevant. In Finnish, the passive voice is common in neutral descriptions, instructions, and descriptions of processes, making kopioidaan a frequent choice in technical and instructional text.

Kopioidaan is used across contexts such as computing, documentation, printing, and media production. Objects commonly described as being copied include tiedosto (file), kuva (image), and teksti (text). Examples: Tiedosto kopioidaan toiseen kansioon. Kuvat kopioidaan varmuuskopioon. These constructions show the generic, agent-invisible action that the passive form conveys.

Grammatical notes: Kopioidaan is the present passive of kopioida. The corresponding active form is kopioida; the past passive is kopioitiin. Finnish uses passive forms to state processes or results without naming who performs the action. Other related forms include kopioi (imperative: copy) and kopioitu (past participle: copied).

Origin and usage: kopioida is a loanword from outside Finnish, tied to the concept of copying in modern contexts such as digital media and documentation. In everyday language, kopioidaan appears in guidelines, software manuals, and copyright notices to describe the action of duplicating materials in a general sense.
